Looks like an Austrostipa species or Spear Grass - a native. Hard to say conclusively without closeup of seed head, etc :)

No problems. I will do a close up and add it in. The light seems to be reflecting off the branches of the grass seed heads rather than off the seeds which are kind of multi coloured.
